H200 How to access system information

Introduction

The document describe methods that may be used to access system information stored on the H200 STB. This can be done by accessing system settings menu (Android/Amino), taking advantage of the native OSD information feature or connecting to the STB with the adb tool and reading the system properties.

Accessing Android system settings menu

Pressing the blue button on the remote when the H200 is in zapper mode.

When tvapp.package_id is not set, H200 is in its default zapper mode. Press the blue button under this mode brings out the Android system settings menu.

Binding a color key on the remote to invoke the Android settings menu

1. Assign the deep link pkg://com.android.tv.settings?cls=com.android.tv.settings.MainSettings to one of the color keys on the remote.

e.g. key.link.blue="pkg://com.android.tv.settings?cls=com.android.tv.settings.MainSettings"

2. Boot up the STB with the new setting.

3. Press the assigned color key to open the Android settings menu, select "Device Preferences".

4. Select "Device Preferences".

5. Select "About". Scroll down the menu and find "OS version", "Build" which contains the STB firmware version, and system information like "Serial number".

Accessing Amino system settings menu

Binding a color key on the remote to invoke the Amino settings menu

1. Assign the deep link pkg://com.aminocom.settingsmenu to one of the 4 color keys on the remote.

e.g. key.link.yellow="pkg://com.aminocom.settingsmenu"

2. Boot up the STB with the new setting.

3. Press the assigned color key to open the Amino settings menu.

4. Press "Information" to find "Software version" which is the STB firmware version and system information like "SN".

Access H200 system information with the adb console tool
